The Jump

Chapter 2 - The Moment

Nezu POV

Here comes the culprit, with All Might at his back. What a sad sight, he was probably the next number 1 pro hero. The only one to truly understand my intelligence, with some comparable one of his own.

"Well well well, I assume you've finished your business All Might?"

"Yes, principal" All Might responded, "the boy doesn't have One For All anymore."

As I followed them walking to the gate, I heard some murmuring from the boy. "I feel like I'm in a dark cave, and someone just ripped out my torch."

Huh.

What an odd saying from a criminal. Oh well, it's hard to focus after being found out it seems.

I continue with them until we reach the black car. I signal to the driver for him to open the window. "Take him to Tartarus," I said, "Yes sir" was the reply.

As Izuku stepped in, I wore a blank expression as I saw that he still seemed to be in shock from the moment. Then the window went dark and the car drove away.

"Well," I said, "Now that that has been dealt with, I need to go revise our security system."

Izuku POV

Timeskip a few hours, as Izuku is being transported to Tartarus via a helicopter.

I wake up, I slowly open my eyes and all I see is a black wall. I listen to the sounds of a helicopter and look around to notice 2 guards looking forwards while the pilots are talking to each other. I pieced the puzzle. I'm being flown to Tartarus.

A million different scenarios flooded my head, 'I will face pain, I will face torture, I will face.... Mom' The thought of me looking at her eyes behind a triple-layered tempered glass from the inside of a prison is a scenario I couldn't handle. 'I will face... Shoto, and... Ochaco' The names appear individually in my mind since I didn't see them this morning, but I didn't consider anything else about them.

I couldn't believe my thoughts. I couldn't handle a situation like that, I couldn't LIVE a scenario like that.

What if I didn't? What if...

I paused upon realizing what I was about to do. 'Yeah' I thought to myself, 'no one cares'

"This is why I'll die tonight."

Guard POV

I hear a whisper "This is why I'll die tonight"

"Hmm?" I said turning to the new inmate.

Suddenly, he undid his seatbelt and knocked out my colleague. I stood up as well but I had difficulty unlocking my seatbelt. As I sat there and struggled, I saw him opening the side door of the helicopter.

"Stop kid!" I yelled. He turns to me.

"No matter what you do, that fall is deadly, and even more so with your cuffs." But what I said was in vain, as I suddenly realized what he said earlier.

I shook my head and said, "KID! DON'T DO IT!!"

But he simply smiled and jumped out.

I unbuckle and look outside, I see a small figure and then a massive splash.

"Shit!, PILOTS GO DOWN" I screamed and they turned to me. "The kid jumped, we need to go down and get him back."

One of the pilots said "He jumped!? Forget it, he's dead."

"Maybe! But we need to confirm it!" and the pilots started lowering the altitude of the helicopter.

As I sat back down and woke up my colleague to inform him of the situation. I then thought about what I saw. The kid wasn't a swimmer, I saw his back towards the water before he impacted it. With this attitude and his quirk cuffs, practically nullifying anything he could do even if it was flight. 'Shit, the kid is probably dead' I concluded.

As we approached the water, my coworker and I looked outside the helicopter to see any signs of him.

Nothing.

We searched for 10 more minutes and got nothing.

"Well," my colleague said, "I guess that will be another report."

"Yeah," I responded, "Although It won't be public, otherwise it will damage our reputation."

With that, I took one final look at the ocean and closed the door.
